If you type 'poker bad beat' in Youtube, why are they all real life examples?
Serious question.
Im just wondering why these hands that are so unusual, end up on YouTube, whereas no-one seems to bother with online ones. It appears that the interest would only be in the live area of the 'all the same thing' game.
I would like to hear from the Forum on why this is so?
An amazing bad beat from wsop, tv cash games, wpt and any online game are all the same thing in your opinion.
Im just trying to understand here, as me myself have worse ones than what is documented there and many of them.... its the same game so why are they omitted?
Why isnt the top one 'i flopped quads.. that were beaten by runner runner better quads'? i mean theres a couple there live that claim to be the worst bad beats 'ever', one being a 2% chance! That wouldnt even qualify for being the worst one of the week for me.
I would say that its because they dont hold the same credibility and therefore wouldnt attract any attention, so if there is another reason i would just like to understand.....
Have you even tried to consider what the answer would be?
You honestly think an exact same bad beat scenario would be equally appealing watching software churn out the result for a load of avatars as opposed to seeing human reactions? The reason there’s more of them on YouTube is because the people with YouTube channels know there are people out there that want to see it. As has been mentioned it’s more of a big deal emotionally if you’re playing for life changing money in the biggest tournament there is in terms of prestige than if you’re sat grinding a £2 deepy with 100 runners. Maybe not for you. Either way they are appealing to a certain demographic, you only have to read some of nonsense comments on these videos.
You either know all this already or really do lack some basic critical thinking skills.
I’m sure if you wanted you could find plenty of online examples by tweaking your search criteria, what a way to spend an evening!
The context of the hand is just about the only thing that matters.
I only wrote a 1 sentence response to keep it as simple as possible but you just ignored what I said entirely. Discussion with you is an absolute waste of time.
There has never been online tournaments with life changing money? Last years main event was $20m gntd..... at least try and keep it real in any explanation....
More disingenuous cropping to attempt to win an argument.
You should avoid being so absolutist, when I did the search there was a video with a guy trying to explain why there’s so many bad beats online. Your position is that these things don’t happen live, seems like quite the change you’re going through.
What is strange to me is despite all the cranks who state that they’ve cracked the online algorithm and have adjusted their play and can name the turns and river cards at will none of the poker streams feature anyone with such an ability even though it would undoubtedly reach a very large audience.
Now, I wonder why that might be.
But apparently its worth posting and looking at.
I would say this is far far more interesting, but is something that would only be a big deal if it were a hand on tv... certainly no-one would be wowed on youtube ... and certainly no chance here.... all ins were on the flop btw....

They're not all the same thing, I never said they're the same thing.

I meant that all you guys say any poker hand is all the same thing.
Q: what's more likely? You losing that hand when the money goes in, or being dealt 33 preflop? Assume a fair deck.
